Katherine Bull Obituary
Katherine was born April 6, 1920, and she lived in Hampton most of her life until she moved to Roanoke to be closer to her sister and daughter. Two years ago she moved to Snellville, outside Atlanta, to live with her daughter, Karen Therrell. Katherine was a former member of Bethany United Methodist Church in Hampton.
She is survived by her two daughters, Karen (Brock) Therrell and Dottie (Steve) Cocaneugher; and her sister, Louise Burton, of Roanoke; and brother, Frank Leitch Jr. of Lansing, Mich. She also leaves behind two grandchildren, John Therrell and Beth Poplaski; and five great-grandchildren.
A memorial service will be held soon in Temperanceville, Md., where she will be buried beside her husband, Carlton, who preceded her many years ago.
In lieu of flowers memorial contributions can be made to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. View and post condolences on our online guestbook at dailypress.com/guestbooks.
